The hardware we finally opted for is the PC Engines APU2. As well as being cheaper than the previous generation of anchors, this model meets the majority of requirements we laid out for the next generation of anchors. </span></p><p class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; max-width: 700px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">To be clear, given that there are still a couple of minor logistical details to resolve, we are still keeping applications on hold for the time being. That said, we look set to meet our September deadline to resume shipping of RIPE Atlas anchors.</p><div class="">For more information and future updates, please read our article on RIPE Labs:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/the-next-generation-of-ripe-atlas-anchors" class="">https://labs.ripe.net/Members/alun_davies/the-next-generation-of-ripe-atlas-anchors</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kind regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Alun Davies</div><div class="">Comms</div><div class="">RIPE NCC</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 12px; max-width: 700px; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></body></html>
